SDCC 2018: Get Ready for ALL THE MONSTERS in the New Godzilla Trailer

SDCC 2018 Godzilla King of Monsters Movie Trailer
Can we get at least one giant monster movie a year? Honestly, I don't think I'm asking for much, and seeing massive creatures destroying cities might unite the planet under the notion that humans are good and giant monsters are the enemy. At the very least, it should be something all Americans can get behind!! Today, the citizens of San Diego Comic-Con 2018 got a first look at this revolutionary peace keeping notion.

Following the global success of “Godzilla” and “Kong: Skull Island” comes the next chapter in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ cinematic MonsterVerse: “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” an epic action adventure that pits Godzilla against some of the most popular monsters in pop culture history.

SDCC 2018: Netflix Teases Stranger Things Season 3 with a Trip to the Mall

Netflix Stranger Things Season 3 Starcourt Mall Teaser
The MALL!! ..a phenomenon and an enigma to kids in Brooklyn when the first glorious cathedrals to consumerism first popped up. We didn't get "it" at first, but we sought out the only mall-like location in our city and after a time, it all made sense. Of course, after moving to New Jersey where there was absolutely nothing else to do, it made even more sense! No matter where you were raised, we probably all have odd mall stories, some including Frank Gorshin (Classic TV Batman's Riddler) chain smoking at a signing in the comic shop, or your friends hustling non-locals at the arcade on Street Fighter, pronouncing at the start of the second match "I'm now going to beat you by just throwing you over and over." The mall is forever burned my memory and, apparently, it made an impression on the Stranger Things crew as well..
